Understanding Intrusion Prevention

Intrusion Prevention (IP) is a security measure that actively detects and blocks potential threats and unauthorized access attempts on a network or system in real-time. It operates based on predefined rules and policies to analyze network traffic, identify suspicious patterns, and take immediate action to prevent malicious activities from compromising the security and integrity of the system. IP systems can help organizations enhance their defense mechanisms by proactively stopping cyber threats before they cause harm.
